Subject: Pish tosh, fish mush.

/"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its 
victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under 
robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's 
cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; 
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end 
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be 
more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell 
of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be cured 
against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as 
disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the 
age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, 
imbeciles, and domestic animals." -C.S. Lewis/

The recording of last night's Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 
KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah is available by one or two clicks, 
depending on whether you want to listen to it now or download it and 
keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

Besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while 
gathering the show together. Such as:

Planes, trains and automobiles. Modern vehicles don't at all do it for 
me the way these do, and I don't think it's just me.

Xenomorph ASMR with introduction. "Hey. Hi. It's me, ASMR Miranda… And 
my new roommate, Whisper Billy."

And this year's annual Waga-Attari border retreat ceremony. Thrilling 
from beginning to the flourish at the end: the offhanded straightening 
of the cap and the twinkly-eyed twirling of the mustache. This isn't 
mere goofy holiday pageantry; this is the thread to sanity keeping two 
truculent nuclear powers from destroying each other and incidentally 
wrecking the world. Sleep tight.
